_ Iraq crisis could lead

The Jmpltertions of the Western world of
the Iraq crisis are both grave and far-reaching.

Iraq shas been one of the foundations on

Associated Press Staff Writer ‘

In the United Arab Republic, If the Iraqut
rebels take their country into Nasser’s bloc,
the pact becomes a dend letter.

Yor the West, the sole alternative to an
attempt to reconquer the entire Arablan pen-
insula by force of arms is recognition that
Arab nationalism has come to stay in the
Middle Kast, that Nasser is its chosen leader
and that failure to come to terma with him
will force him to strengthen his ties with the
Sdviet Union,

the confused Middle Haat picture In recent
